A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a gently calligraphic skeleton. The proportions feel classically book-oriented: a relatively small x-height, open counters, and clear ascender/descender presence that gives lines a steady vertical rhythm. Terminals are softly finished rather than sharply cut, and curves show a humanist roundness, while capitals remain balanced and formal. Numerals follow the same old-style sensibility, blending smoothly with text rather than reading as purely geometric figures.
Well suited to book typography, essays, and other long-form reading where a classic serif texture is desirable. It also works effectively for editorial layouts, cultural institutions, and brand identities that want a traditional, established tone. Capitals have enough presence for headings, while the lowercase is shaped for sustained paragraph use.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a warm, cultivated character that feels at home in editorial and book contexts. It suggests tradition and trust without feeling overly ornate, balancing refinement with readability. The texture reads calm and considered, lending a subtly scholarly voice to longer passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable old-style reading experience with a warm, humanist feel—prioritizing familiar letterforms, comfortable rhythm, and a refined, traditional voice for continuous text.
In text settings, the face builds an even, comfortable color with recognizable, traditional forms—useful for maintaining a familiar reading rhythm. The italic is not shown, but the roman itself carries noticeable calligraphic influence through its curve tension and serif transitions.
